Guest guest Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 So, I want to make sure I understand this clearly. 1st ONly use A B Symm when there is both a left right alpha and beta reversal in the frontal lobe 2nd Use Alpha Beta Balance when there is just an alpha left rght reversal or a Beta left right reversal 3rd These protocols can also be used when there is an alpha or beta front back reversal of either hemishphere. I just want to make sure I understand correctly. thanks shar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the client doesn't have an issue with one of the frequencies, then they simply score a lot on that side. It's the ability to do both at the same time that is what the training is doing. > 2nd Use Alpha Beta Balance when there is just an alpha left rght > reversal or a Beta left right reversal Alpha Beta Balance is just a variant of the Alpha Beta Symmetry protocol. Both do the same thing. There is a protocol called the Balance protocol which some people like to use when only alpha or beta are reversed, either left/right or front/back. > 3rd These protocols can also be used when there is an alpha or beta > front back reversal of either hemishphere. I would agree with this, more or less, though these protocols train for a 10% greater level of the target frequency at the target site, which is appropriate frontally, but it may not be so front/back. Also, the way I usually identify reversals is using relative values (percents). Front/back reversals often involve dramatically different amplitudes. So even though the percents may show there is more alpha in the front, the amplitudes may not, so the training won't necessarily work very well. More important are the points I mentioned in an e-mail on this subject several days ago: Don't use the Balance or Symmetry protocols if there is excessive beta; that's just like re-arranging the furniture in a burning house. Train down the excessive right side beta first. I would always look at the absolute amplitudes for beta and alpha at the two sites and only use the Symmetry and Balance protocols if the amplitudes are pretty close together. Otherwise it can be very difficult for the client to ever score. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Thanks Pete and Sharrie, I have found exactly what you wrote about treating the f/b reversal when you said > Front/back reversals often involve dramatically different amplitudes. So even though the percents may show there is more alpha in the front, the amplitudes may not, so the training won't necessarily work very well. I have experimented with treating both reversals at once by using the Alpha Beta balance design at F3/P4 So that I don't train up beta at F4. That seems good, however I still don't know the best way to train F/B reversal F4/P4. Does any training @ FZ/OZ operate on these reversals ? > > > > 1st ONly use A B Symm when there is both a left right alpha and beta > > reversal in the frontal lobe > > I actually use it with either alpha or beta or both imbalances.
